It is octal. \234 should be 2*64+3*16+4 being ascii 170.
Apparently the multi-language extensions to Emacs does not embrace UTF-8 yet (even though Google reports some initial attempts). I usually confirm with Internet Explorer, but that does probably not apply to you. Otherwise, running the file through a identity XSLT-file with xsl:output set to iso-latin-1 might be another option.
